EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Ken Welsh showcases a 19th-century reproduction of a 15th-century wood carving found on a stall in Rouen Cathedral. The intricate carving represents the proverb "Margaritas Ante Porcos" which translates to "Throwing Pearls Before Swine". The image transports us back to the medieval ages, where a man is depicted standing on a dais surrounded by beautiful daisies. He holds a basket filled with pearls, symbolizing precious wisdom or valuable knowledge. However, instead of an appreciative audience, he faces swine or pigs who are known for their lack of appreciation for such treasures. The black and white medium enhances the historical essence of this artwork, evoking feelings of nostalgia and curiosity about ancient times. The detailed engravings and sketches add depth to the overall composition, allowing viewers to appreciate the craftsmanship that went into creating this piece. Through this photograph, we are reminded of the timeless nature of proverbs and phrases that have been passed down through generations. It serves as a visual representation of caution against wasting valuable resources or knowledge on those who cannot appreciate them. Ken Welsh's skillful capture invites us to reflect upon history while appreciating the beauty and significance behind these medieval illustrations.
